Use the Extender With MAC Filtering or Access Control
When the WiFi-enabled device connects through the extender to your router, the MAC
address of the WiFi device that is shown on the router is translated to another MAC address.
If your router's MAC filter, WiFi access control, or ACL is enabled, the WiFi-enabled device
connects to the extender but cannot get an IP address from the extender and cannot access
the Internet. To allow the WiFi device to receive an IP address from the extender and access
the Internet, you must provide the translated MAC address to the router.
To add a translated MAC address to your router:
1.
Log in to your router and disable the MAC filter, WiFi access control, or ACL.
For more information about how to disable your router's MAC filter, WiFi access control,
or ACL, see your router's documentation.
2.
Power on the extender and connect all of your WiFi-enabled devices to the extender.
3.
Make sure that the Link Rate LED remains lit.
4.
Log in to your extender:
a. Launch a web browser.
b. Enter www.mywifiext.net in the address field of the browser.
A login window opens.
c. Enter your user name and password.
The Status page displays.
5.
Select Settings > Connected Devices.
The Connected Devices section displays the MAC addresses and virtual MAC addresses
for computers and WiFi devices that are connected to the extender network.
6.
On the router, add the extender's virtual MAC address and all the virtual MAC addresses
connected to the extender network to your router's MAC filter table.
7.
Enable the router's MAC filter, WiFi access control, or ACL.
